Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are reportedly struggling to cope as their mother, Sarah Ferguson, becomes entangled in yet another scandal linked to her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The sisters, known for their loyalty to both parents, are said to be feeling “deeply disappointed” and “emotionally torn” amid the unfolding chaos surrounding their family.
The latest controversy stems from the ongoing fallout of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein, which has once again cast a shadow over the royal household. King Charles has reportedly taken decisive action, stripping Andrew of his remaining privileges and urging him to vacate the Royal Lodge, the home he has long shared with Sarah Ferguson.
While the Duke’s troubles have been ongoing for years, it’s Sarah Ferguson’s involvement in a new email scandal that has reportedly shaken her daughters the most. According to royal insiders, the sisters have been left “heartbroken and confused,” unsure of how to support their mother while facing immense public scrutiny.
A close friend of the family confided to royal expert Rebecca English that the York sisters are “more disappointed in their mother than their father right now.” The source explained, “Of course they love her dearly — she’s their mum, and a wonderful grandmother but they can’t ignore how these situations keep unfolding around her.”
The insider added that while both Beatrice and Eugenie have long been their mother’s strongest defenders, recent events have made them question some of her choices. “They’re deeply concerned about how all this is affecting her mentally, but it’s fair to say the scales have somewhat fallen from their eyes,” the friend revealed.
Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as Fergie, has been through numerous public storms over the years, but this latest ordeal appears to have hit her daughters particularly hard. Despite her resilience, even those close to her admit that the pressure is starting to take its toll.
Earlier this year, Princess Beatrice opened up about her admiration for her mother, calling her “incredible” in an emotional interview. She spoke warmly about how Sarah continues to inspire her despite the challenges she faces.

“My favourite thing about my mum,” Beatrice said, “is the more I get to know her in her life, the more incredible this woman is becoming. As a mum, she is completely effervescent in her ability to bring joy. No matter what’s happening, she always turns up.”
Those words, once filled with admiration, now echo with sadness as the Princess of York reportedly grapples with seeing her mother’s image tarnished again. Both sisters, who have always stood by their parents through public embarrassment and scandal, are said to be quietly supporting one another as they navigate this latest family crisis.
Friends of the family say Eugenie and Beatrice remain united in their commitment to protect their children from the turbulence that has surrounded the York family for decades. “They’ve seen what public disgrace can do to a person,” one insider said. “They’re determined not to let it consume their families the way it did their parents.”
As King Charles continues his efforts to distance the monarchy from the controversies surrounding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the York sisters face the painful task of balancing loyalty to their mother with their desire to preserve what’s left of their family’s dignity.
For Sarah Ferguson, this is another test of her strength and resilience and for her daughters, a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile royal life can be. The world watches as the once-vibrant family known for their laughter and unity now faces yet another wave of turmoil that could change their dynamic forever.
